Good morning,

Does it do it both in 2-wheel and 4-wheel drive?

Yes, it could be a CV joint failure doing this.

Let me know so we can continue.

It sounds like one of the axles is binding up. I would suggest replacing both sides at the same time.

You could jack up the truck and turn each wheel one by one and see if it binds up. Make sure you have the wheel turned all the way in one direction.
